(Step S1). When the user's personal data is input from the input unit 30 (step S2), the personal data acquisition unit 204 stores (registers) the user's personal data in the storage unit 50 as user data 506 (step S3).

When the registration of the user data 506 is completed, the processing section 20 determines whether or not a call has been received (whether a call has been received) (step S5). The process (FIG. 14) is executed, and the process returns to step S4. If no call is received, it is determined whether or not a telephone number has been input (step S6). When a telephone number is input, a calling process described later (FIG. 1)
5) is executed (step S7), and the process returns to step S4. If there is no input of a telephone number, the process directly returns to step S4.

Next, the operation of the receiving process (FIG. 13; step S6) in the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, a call is received (a call is received)
The processing unit 20 determines that the telephone number of the partner is the partner data 508
Is determined (step S61). If registered, it is further determined whether or not personal data is registered, that is, whether or not all data is registered in the partner data 508 (step S6).
2). If all data is not registered, for example,
If the name corresponding to the telephone number is registered, but the gender, date of birth, blood type, relationship with the user, etc. are not registered, the conversation setting unit 208 sets the telephone number (or name) of the other party. ) Is set for the dialogue and the character to notify. Then, the processing unit 20 sets the conversation setting unit 208
Image based on the dialogue and character set by the user (Fig. 7
(A)) is displayed on the display unit 40 (step S65), and the process proceeds to step S66.

In step S62, if all the personal data corresponding to the telephone number of the other party is registered in the other party data 508, the fortune-telling unit 202 determines the degree of compatibility based on the user data 506 and the other party data 508 ( Step S63). Then, a conversation (line) for the conversation setting unit 208 to notify the other party of the name and the fortune-telling result,
The character with which the conversation is performed is set, and the processing unit 20 causes the display unit 40 to display the images (FIGS. 7B and 7C) of the character that is talking in the conversation set by the conversation setting unit 208. That is, the name of the opponent and the result of fortune-telling (degree of compatibility) are notified by the conversation (line) of the character (step S64).

When a call instruction is input from the input unit 30 and a call is started, the processing unit 20 performs a call process (step S66). When the call is completed, the communication data acquisition unit 206 inputs the data from the clock 70. The communication time is acquired based on the clock signal thus received, and the communication time and the number of times of communication of the communication data 510 are updated (step S67). Then, the conversation setting unit 208 sets a dialogue and a character asking for the impression of the call, and processes the image (FIG. 5A) in which the character set by the conversation setting unit 208 asks the impression of the call (FIG. 5A).
Is displayed on the display unit 40 (step S68).

Next, the processing section 20 responds to the input part 4 to the dialogue of the character displayed in step S68.
From 0, it is determined whether or not the impression of the call has been input (step S69). If the impression of the call has been input, the communication data acquisition unit 206 determines the impression of the communication data 510 according to the input impression. Is updated (step S7).
0), the conversation setting unit 208 sets a speech corresponding to the input impression, and the processing unit 20 displays images (FIGS. 5B and 5C) in which the speech is spoken by the character on the display unit 40. Then, the process is terminated (step S71).

In step S69, when there is no comment input, that is, when rejection of the comment input is inputted, the conversation setting unit 208 sets a dialogue and a character corresponding to the rejection of the comment input. Then, the processing unit 20 causes the display unit 40 to display the set dialogue and character image (FIG. 5D) (step S72), and ends the processing.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S61 that the call has been received from a telephone number that is not registered in the partner data 508, the processing unit 20 performs call processing as it is (step S73). A registration process (FIG. 16) is performed (step S74), and the process ends.

Next, the operation of the transmission process (FIG. 13; step S7) in the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the processing section 20 determines whether or not the input telephone number has been registered in the partner data 508 (step S81). If registered, it is determined whether or not all personal data for the input telephone number is registered in the partner data 508 (step S82). If there is data that is not registered as personal data, the process proceeds to step S85.

If all the personal data has been registered, the fortune-telling unit 202 determines the compatibility between the user and the other party of the input telephone number based on the user data 506 and the other party data 508 (step S83). Then, the conversation setting unit 208 sets a dialogue based on the fortune-telling result (degree of compatibility) and a character that speaks the dialogue, and an image in which the set character speaks the fortune-telling result (FIG. 6A,
(B)) is displayed on the display unit 40 by the processing unit 20 (step S84).

Next, the processing section 20 determines whether or not an outgoing call instruction has been input (step S85), and no outgoing call instruction has been input (the input telephone number has been canceled).
In this case, the process ends. If the call instruction has been input, the telephone of the telephone number is called and the telephone call processing is executed (step S86).

When the call is finished, communication data acquisition section 206 acquires the call time based on the clock signal input from clock 70, and updates the call time and the number of calls in communication data 510 (step S1). S87). And
The conversation setting unit 208 sets a dialogue and a character for asking for the impression of the call, and the processing unit 20 causes the display unit 40 to display an image (FIG. 5A) for asking the impression of the call for the character set (step S88). ).

Next, the processing section 20 determines whether or not there is a comment input for the dialog displayed in step S88 (step S89). The number of impressions of the communication data 510 is updated according to the input impression (step S90). The conversation setting unit 208 sets a dialogue corresponding to the input impression, and the processing unit 20 displays images (FIGS. 5B and 5C) in which the character speaks the dialogue on the display unit 40.
Is displayed (step S91), and the process ends.

In step S89, when there is no comment input, that is, when rejection of the comment input is input, the conversation setting unit 208 sets the dialogue and character corresponding to the rejection of the comment input. Then, the processing unit 20 causes the display unit 40 to display the set dialogue and character image (FIG. 5D) (step S92), and ends the processing.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S81 that the telephone number has not been registered, the processing unit 20 determines whether or not there is a call instruction (step S93). The telephone of the input telephone number is called, and a telephone call process is executed (step S94). And
When the call ends, a registration process described later (FIG. 16) is executed (step S95), and the process ends. If no outgoing call instruction has been given in step S93 (for example, the input telephone number has been canceled), the process ends.

Next, the registration processing in the first embodiment (FIG. 14, step S74, FIG. 15, step S9)
The operation according to 5) will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the communication data obtaining unit 206 obtains the telephone number of the other party from whom the call was made from the processing unit 20 (step S101), obtains the call time, and stores the telephone number of the other party in the communication data 510. , Call time and number of calls are registered (step S102).

[0095] Then, conversation setting section 208 sets a character and a dialogue for asking personal data of the other party (the other party corresponding to the telephone number obtained in step S101). Then, the image in which the character set by the conversation setting unit 208 is speaking the dialogue (FIG. 4A)
(E)) is displayed on the display unit 40 by the processing unit 20 (step S103).

Next, the personal data acquisition unit 204
Determines whether there is an input of personal data of the other party according to the displayed dialog (step S10).
4). When there is no input (that is, the input of the personal data is rejected), the dialog setting unit 208 sets the dialog and the character for the personal data input rejection, and the processing unit 20 displays the image of the character speaking the dialog ( (FIG. 4 (g)) Display on the display unit 40 (step S1).
07), the process ends.

If there is an input, personal data acquisition section 204 acquires the input personal data and registers it as partner data 508 (step S105).
It is determined whether all the personal data has been registered (step S106). If there is unregistered personal data, the process returns to step S103, where a dialogue for asking unregistered personal data is set, and an image in which the character speaks the dialogue is displayed on the display unit 40.

All personal data is transferred to partner data 50
8, the fortune-telling unit 202 sets the partner data 50
8 and the user data 506 to determine the degree of compatibility (step S108), the conversation setting unit 208 sets a line based on the fortune-telling result (degree of compatibility) and a character that speaks the line, and the processing unit 20 sets the character. An image (FIG. 4 (f)) describing the fortune-telling result is displayed on the display unit 40 (step S109), and the process ends.

As described above, according to the present invention, the partner data 508, the user data 506, or the communication data 5
When making a call (when making a call)
Or at the time of communication or non-communication by performing affinity fortune-telling at the time of reception (when a call is received) and letting the character talk according to the result of fortune-telling, or changing the image during standby or talking In this case, the communication game on the portable telephone can be made more interesting.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described first embodiment, and various modifications can be made. In the first embodiment, a communication game (conversation with a character) is performed in response to a call situation on the portable telephone 1200.
However, for example, an information communication terminal such as a fixed telephone, a facsimile, a personal computer, a PDA, or a pager may be used. That is, the game may proceed in accordance with the communication status of the information communication terminal that performs communication of not only voice data but also data such as characters and images.

For example, in the case where the game is advanced based on e-mail instead of calling, the following application method is possible. That is, the communication data 510 stores the communication data amount (the number of characters, etc.), the number of times of communication, and the like in association with the mail address. This can be realized by performing the above-mentioned transmission processing and reception processing when transmitting and receiving mail. Similarly, in a facsimile, a pager, and the like, the data communication amount (fax communication time, character transmission amount, and the like) is stored as communication data 510.

The present invention is also applicable to arcade game machines capable of transmitting and receiving e-mails and the like. In such a case, a configuration may be adopted in which a print unit for printing the fortune-telling result, the communication data 510, the display image, or the like is provided.

Further, for example, fortune-telling results, partner data 50
8 ringtone (ringing tone) according to the relationship with the user, whether or not from a registered partner, or when receiving from a specific partner (when a call is received or data is received) May be changed. Further, the ringtone may be changed according to the number of impressions and the like. For example, when a call is received from a partner whose number of impressions is “better” than a given number, the ringtone is changed to a normal ringtone. Conversely, the ringing tone when a call is received from a partner whose number of impressions “Sirakuta” is equal to or greater than a given number may be changed. Also, not limited to ringtones, for example,
Images displayed during a call and during a call may be changed.

Also, for example, the image shown in FIG. 3 is normally displayed in the standby state. However, regardless of the other party, when the number of times of inputting “Batch” of the impression exceeds a given number, And "HAPPY" as shown in FIG.
Or display an image containing characters such as
It is also possible to change the image displayed in the standby (standby) state according to the number of impressions input, such as increasing the number of characters included in the displayed image as the number of times of input of “impression” is increased. good.

Further, in the first embodiment,
The fortune-telling unit 202 determines the affinity between the call partner and the user. For example, fortune-telling of the user (for example, money luck, health luck, love luck, work, etc.) on that day (or time, week, month, etc.) Luck, biorhythm), personality judgment, etc. may be fortuned based only on the user data 506.

Also, for example, there is a case where the user cannot input personal data (for example, date of birth) in the partner data 508 because the user does not know the personal data. Therefore, in addition to the interruption instruction area 4 such as “stop” shown in FIG. Do not know"
For example, if "I don't know" is selected on the display screen (FIG. 4D) for asking the date of birth of the other party, even if the date of birth is not entered, A display screen (FIG. 4 (e)) for asking the blood type may be displayed.

In the reception processing and the transmission processing, even if a part of the personal data in the partner data 508 is not registered, the fortune-telling unit 20 is not required.
The fortune-telling 2 may perform the fortune-telling and notify the result of the fortune-telling. In that case, for example, even if you know the date of birth of the other party but do not know the blood type,
By registering the date of birth, a fortune-telling result based on the date of birth can be obtained.

Further, the constellation may be included as personal data in the partner data 508. For example, if the date of birth of the communication partner is not known but the constellation is known, by registering the constellation in the partner data 508,
The horoscope 202 can execute constellation fortune-telling.

In addition, not the result of fortune-telling but the communication data 51
0 based information, for example, the number of calls to the other party,
It is also possible to display a display screen in which the character teaches the talk time and the like, the number of talks of the user, the talk time, and the like. Further, a display screen in which the character comments on the call time, the number of calls, and the like may be displayed.

Further, for example, a character is set for each character, and a comment (line) or tone may be changed depending on the character. In this case, even if the result of the compatibility degree is the same, the comment is different depending on the character to be displayed (set by the conversation setting unit 208).

The character of the character changes in accordance with the update of the communication data 510.
In, the character may become brighter or gentler as the number of times of input of “impression” increases. In addition, for example, as the total number of calls and the total call time increase, the character grows from a child to an adult, and the communication data 5
It may be grown according to 10. In this case, since the characters of the communication game change, it is possible to make the player less tired.

The registration processing for the partner data 508 is performed as follows.
Not only at the end of the call but also at any time when a given operation is input. It is also possible to delete / change registered partner data.

[0113] Name, gender, date of birth, and blood type are registered as personal data in the user data 506 and the partner data 508. For example, data such as address, occupation, hobby, and taste are further registered. You may also register.

For example, at the time of a call, the communication data acquisition unit 206 acquires the call time zone, the area where the call partner is located, the area where the user is, and the like. It is also possible to perform an effect, an effect according to the other party or the area where the user is, an effect according to the distance between the area where the user is and the area where the other party is located, and the like. It should be noted that the area where the call partner is located can be obtained by the area code of the fixed telephone when the call partner is using a fixed telephone. Alternatively, the user may be prompted to input the area where the other party is talking at the end of the call or the like.
